This $419,750 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to identify how daily partner health behaviors and communal coping relate to glycemic control in emerging adult couples with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
The research, conducted by Brigham Young University, will (1) examine how partner health behaviors such as sleep, physical activity, and nutrition impact the glycemic control of persons with T1D, and (2) identify partner communal coping behaviors during acute hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic events that facilitate a timely return to euglycemia. This study aims to provide novel insights on how the dyadic environment and partner support influence diabetes management during the critical transitional period of emerging adulthood, with the goal of informing future dyadic behavioral interventions to improve long-term health outcomes for those with T1D.
